40 YEARS OF DATA PROTECTION AND MANY MORE TO COME: CONVENTION 108 AND 108+
summary
Convention 108 turns 40 and now counts 55 Parties worldwide, with about 11 states having ratified the modernised 108+ text; the panel highlights concrete wins and gaps — California pushes from CCPA to CPRA via ballot, creating a funded DPA with roughly 50 employees, adding a private right of action, sensitive‑data opt‑outs, geolocation limits and anti‑profiling rights; enforcement remains slow (Irish draft WhatsApp fines cited at €30–50m), surveillance and facial‑recognition rules get a moratorium‑not‑ban response, and cross‑border adequacy politics drive the next fights.
